Surely photos must have been snapped, I’d love to see what this formation actually looked like?

After 9/11, how in the h*ll was this a good idea? Good grief, this is insanity or deliberate terror by the powers that be.

Just got a call from my husband - they just got the all clear to return to the building. Apparently no one alerted building security that this test was going to take place. Talk about incompetent.

Its amazing. If someone had said five minutes before this happened it was a possibility-whatever it turns out to be-they would have been laughed off here.
On another thread today someone incorrectly had Tom Clancy dead. He may as well be, truth has become stranger than fiction.

It must have been Air Force 1, being delivered to the “Pimp my Ride” shop.

WTH kind of “photo-op” with a commercial jet flying amongst NYC buildings could this possibly be? What a bunch of bull.

There was a hint in the WSJ final piece that it could have been Air Force 1! FGS! that really makes no sense—but it does make for even more sinister thoughts in my little pea brain......

If it was true, they would've notified the people of New York & New Jersey.

They're lying.

Here are some of the comments from the WSJ...

Every person involved in this escapade is not summarily dismissed immediately from their jobs - not “reassiged” as the governement usually does, but fired. This is beyond lunacy - this is absolutely disgusting. This is a perfect indication of the arrogance of our government at every level. It shows an incredible lack of respect for the people they work for - US!!

I got an email from my husband that they were evacuating 1 New York Plaza building…. how irresponsible can they be!! Especially after 9/11, who thinks everyone will be calm when there was no information of what is going on. And what is “Photo op” anyway?

Got a frantic call from my girlfriend with our equally frantic cat in her arms because our 50+ floor-apartment building in Jersey City was evacuated.

I’m livid over this.

I live in a high rise in Battery Park. From my sofa, it was quite frightening to see and hear the plane (from the underside, banked very steeply) with fighter jet trailing it. If the city was put on notice, why weren’t residents and business in the area warned? Merrill Lynch employees at WFC were evacuated as were some other buildings nearby. I grabbed by tennis shoes and prepared to run when I got a call from someone who knew I’d be worried, who told me what was happening. Just dumb, if not ridiculously insensitive not to warm Battery Park and financial center residents.

Damn!
What would it take to get New York off the terrorist’s primary hit list - and have them focus more attention on Washington,D.C., Boston, Newark, Detroit, San Francisco and Los Angeles?

Thank goodness your loved one is ok, but how many places was this scene repeated. How many heart attacks were caused by this ill advised publicity stunt. How much loss of business for all these companies.

Incredible. I doubt the MSM will cover this, though. I am livid, and I’m in Minnesota.
